NBA 2K11 Video: From the Demo at Gamescom

[COACH WEBB]

Looks good...the crowd looks so realistic. I may have to get my hands on both of these NBA games this year. Although my last 2k game was 08.

It was said that it was running default/sim which sounds weird because I thought the default was normal/pro

Yeah, I figured if you zoomed it out it would be fine. As long as those dimensions in the practice pic are in there, it shouldn't matter what we see, the room will be there to operate.

Well the bottom pic does have the gray/white lines inside the logo. Is that the PC version? If that's the case then it's fine and the logo is in fact bigger. Just can't see it on the 2K11 court.

If you've seen an NBA game in person you'll be shocked as to how small the court looks. When I went to my first game the first thing me and my cousin commented on was how small and crowded the court really is.

If you cant read the quoted part and understand what is trying to be said, I guess their's no hope for you.

FYI, I have read every developer’s insight for the game (as hinted by me mentioning about 2K's promoting of the game) - particularly the one regarding defense. As I’ve stated, they have said little about defense in comparison to all other features within the game – basically no more that what was mention in that article. Which is all the more reason why it worries me about the lack of defense judging by what's presented in this physical demo, regardless of what's written in the developer's insights. If YOU prefer to look at the game with a blind eye through rose colored glasses, then so be it. This is MY opinion based off of what I’ve witness in the video clip - not off some off-branded insights that may or may not actually be concurrent with the final product. And being a fan of the series and seeing how the last two games have turned out, I have every right to that.

Anyway, back OT - judging by Ronnie’s twitter post, unfortunately, this is not casual mode.

disapointed...only improvement i see is maaybe dunks and animations...everything else pretty much looks the same to me.

Its just one short vid tho...i want to be able to see better controll visually...still seems like some canimations keep you from controlling at some points....i dont know man.

We'll see.

Yes, PC.

It's not the court sizes. They shrunk the player sizes last year and that helped immensely.

It's the control that limits the feeling of spacing. Moves cover too much ground and the clunky control didn't help.

It should be much better this year, especially the plays. A lot of work was put into them.

Many of the camera angle have different levels of depth, that's why when you play from the nosebleed angle things look like they are sized very well. It's this level of depth that really screws up the perceived sizing of the courts.

It's not people are wrong... they "look" off, but the camera angle plays a big part of it.
